Still in thy light we onward move; We follow thee. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 73:25 Used With Tune: HANFORD

Thus far on life's perplexing path

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Pilgrimage of life Lyrics: Thus far on life's perplexing path, Thus far, Thou, Lord, our steps hast led; Snatch'd from the world's pursuing wrath, Unharm'd, though floods hung o'er our head; Like ransom'd Israel on the shore, Here, then, we pause, look back, adore. Strangers and pilgrims here below, Like all our fathers in their day, We to the land of promise go, Lord, by Thine own appointed way: Still guide, illumine, cheer our flight, In cloud by day, in fire by night. Safety Thy presence is, and rest; While,--as the eagle, o'er her brood Flutters her pinions, stirs the nest, Covers, defends, provides them food, Bears on her wings, instructs to fly,-- Thy love prepares us for the sky. 60 Protect us through the wilderness From fiery tempest, plague, and foe; With bread from heaven Thy people bless, And living streams where'er we go: Nor let our rebel hearts repine, Or follow any voice but Thine. Thy holy law to us proclaim, But not from Sinai's top alone; Hid in the rock-cleft, be Thy Name, Thy power and all Thy goodness shown; And may we never bow the knee, Or worship any God but Thee. When we have number'd all our years, And stand, at length, on Jordan's brink, Though the flesh fail with mortal fears, O let not then the spirit sink; But, strong in faith, and hope, and love, Plunge through the stream to rise above.

Hallelujah, hallelujah! 2 You were their rock, their fortress and their might, you were their captain in the well fought fight; in deepest darkness still their one true light. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 3 So may your servants, faithful, true, and bold, fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, and win, with them, the victor's crown of gold. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 4 O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine, all yours, all joined in unity divine. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, steals on the ear the distant triumph song, and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 6 The golden evening brightens in the west; soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest, the peaceful calm of paradise the blest. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 7 But see, there breaks a yet more glorious day; the saints triumphant rise in bright array; the King of glory calls passes on his way. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 8 From earth's wide bounds and ocean's farthest shore, through heaven's gate the holy people pour; the Three-in-One for ever they adore. Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Life's Railway to Heaven

Author: M. E. Abbey Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Appears in 100 hymnals Topics: Christian Pilgrimage First Line: Life is like a mountain railroad Refrain First Line: Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us Lyrics: 1 Life is like a mountain railroad, With an engineer that’s brave; We must make the run successful, From the cradle to the grave; Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels; Never falter, never quail; Keep your hand upon the throttle, And your eye upon the rail. Refrain: Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us, Till we reach the blissful shore, Where the angels wait to join us In Thy praise forevermore. 2 You will roll up grades of trial; You will cross the bridge of strife; See that Christ is your conductor On this lightning train of life; Always mindful of obstruction, Do your duty, never fail; Keep your hand upon the throttle, And your eye upon the rail. [Refrain] 3 You will often find obstructions, Look for storms and wind and rain; On a fill, or curve, or trestle They will almost ditch your train; Put your trust alone in Jesus, Never falter, never fail; Keep your hand upon the throttle, And your eye upon the rail. [Refrain] 4 As you roll across the trestle, Spanning Jordan’s swelling tide, You behold the Union Depot Into which your train will glide; There you’ll meet the Sup’rintendent, God the Father, God the Son, With the hearty, joyous plaudit, “Weary pilgrim, welcome home.” [Refrain] Scripture: Hebrews 12:1 Used With Tune: LIFE'S RAILWAY
